BVI Island GuideA Complete Guide to the British Virgin Islands

Here’s a look at the most popular islands in the British Virgin Islands

Tortola

Tortola is the captain of the islands, watching over the surrounding members of the BVI. It’s in the center and is the biggest and most populated. It is also home to BVI’s highest peak and resembles vegetation of a rainforest. It features the most commonly used airport in the island chain.

Virgin Gorda

Virgin Gorda is unique because it is huge but with a skinny middle. It’s home to super nice resorts and a relatively large local population complete with schools and commerce. The Baths are an incredible find.

Anegada

Located far from the other islands, Anegada is a massive coral reef island different from the rest that are volcanic. Its wildlife and relaxing sense of solitude draws boats through its narrow channel access.

Jost Van Dyke

Known as a relaxing party island, Jost has many attractions including natural ones such as the Bubbly Pool and drink huts like Corsairs, Foxy’s and Soggy Dollar Bar. Home of the Painkiller.

Norman Island

Norman has one of the greatest bars ever created: Willie T’s. Located on a permanently anchored boat, you need to go here. It’s complete with naked diving and booze ridden dancing.

Cooper Island

A popular but private island if you’d like to get away from the main bulk of tourists. Very expensive, but very relaxing and quiet.

Necker Island

Richard Branson’s island, this piece of paradise has his resort and all sorts of wildlife from all over the world including lemurs, rare tortoises, ibises and flamingos. Hard to visit, the best route is to contact Gumption who gives a glass bottom boat tour of the island.

Marina Cay

This is a tiny, tiny island that has an incredible history. Robb White wrote about his purchase of this island in the book Two on the Isle. He writes about Nazi Germans that threaten his family on this island and his success with building the cabin that still stands. Pusser’s Rum is still located here, the choice rum of the Painkiller.

Saba Rock

A resort rock of an island, this small piece of land has expensive booze, expensive food and expensive stay. It’s definitely worth the look, you can watch them feed all sorts of marine life.
